Paris Hilton has finally faced the fact that she’s going to the slammer – and immediately acted like a felon ducking a perp walk.

The paparazzi princess shunned the spotlight – covering her head with a blanket to avoid the snapping cameras outside her Beverly Hills home.

She had just returned from an in-depth session with her shrink at the Sunset Medical Plaza in Los Angeles when she donned the outfit of choice for most felons – a head-covering rag.

The hotel heiress yesterday decided to stop her appeal of the 45-day jail sentence for breaking the terms of her probation.

Court papers filed at the L.A. County Superior Court revealed that she will definitely head for the slammer on June 5 as punishment for repeatedly driving without a license while on probation for an alcohol-related reckless-driving offense.

Initially, the crybaby had called the sentence unfair and had her attorneys immediately file a notice of appeal.

But she switched lawyers and her new one, Richard Hutton, a specialist on drunken-driving cases, has obviously decided to take a different tack.

Hutton’s decision to drop the appeal came after prison authorities moved to lighten up on Hilton.

Authorities decided that after reviewing her case, poor Paris should be jailed for only 23 days – if she behaves.

Once in the clink, Hilton, 26, will be separated from the general inmate population in a special-needs housing unit normally reserved for police officers, public officials and celebrities, said L.A. County Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore. “All inmates get credit for good behavior,” Whitmore said. “The inmate knows that if they be have and follow the rules, that’s something to shoot for.”

Her unit at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood con sists of 12 two-person cells, meaning Hilton might have to share a room. Like every one else in the 2,200-inmate facility, she will get at least an hour outside her cell each day to shower, watch TV, par ticipate in recreation or talk on the phone. With Post Wire Services
